Further Results on the Bellman Equation for Exit Time Optimal Control Problems with Nonnegative Lagrangians: The Case of Fuller's Problem

Authors:

Héctor J. Sussmann, Michael A. Malisoff,

Volume: 1, Page 2308 Paper number 1991

Abstract:

A class of deterministic exit time optimal control problems is studied using the dynamic programming approach. The value functions of these problems are shown to be the unique viscosity solutions of the corresponding Bellman equations that satisfy appropriate side conditions. The results are applied to Fuller's Problem, whose value function is shown to be the unique solution of the corresponding Bellman equation which is null at the origin and bounded below.

Optimal Control of Systems with Delayed Observation Sharing Patterns via Input-Output Methods

Authors:

Petros G. Voulgaris,

Volume: 1, Page 2311 Paper number 1141

Abstract:

In this paper we present an input-output point of view of certain optimal control problems with constraints on the processing of the measurement data. In particular, we consider norm minimization optimal control problems under the so-called one-step delay observation sharing pattern. We present a Youla parametrization approach that leads to their solution by converting them to nonstandard, yet convex, model matching problems. This conversion is always possible whenever the part of the plant that relates controls to measurements possesses the same structure in its feedthrough term with the one imposed by the observation pattern on the feedthrough term of the controller, i.e., (block-)diagonal. When that is not the case, it amounts to the so-called non-classical information pattern problems. For the H_(infinity) case, using loop-shifting ideas, a simple sufficient condition is given under which the problem can be still converted to a convex, model matching problem. We also demonstrate that there are several nontrivial classes of problems satisfying this condition. Finally, we extend these ideas to the case of a N-step delay observation sharing pattern.

Robust Optimization-Based Control: an LMI Approach

Authors:

Christophe Prieur, Pascale Bendotti, Laurent El-Ghaoui,

Volume: 1, Page 2317 Paper number 1288

Abstract:

An optimization-based control technique is developed to defining feasible input trajectories with respect to operating constraints. The proposed approach is based on the construction of a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem equivalent to the constrained control problem. When the system is subject to structured uncertainty, the nominal SDP problem is extended to account for uncertain parameters evolving in a certain ellipsoidal set.

One Optimum Design Method Of Classical Control System

Authors:

Guojiang Zhang, Yao Yu,

Volume: 1, Page 2323 Paper number 1426

Abstract:

The classical control method depends on the experiences of project designers and is based on classical design of servo-system. One optimum method which is designed to solve the problem of classical control system design is proposed. This paper presents an optimum performance index function about order and parameters of lead-link and also approves the existence of solution. Finally, an application is given to certify the effectiveness of the method.

Optimal Control of Linear Nonstandard Singularly Perturbed Discrete Systems

Authors:

Myo-Taeg Lim, Beom-Soo Kim,

Volume: 1, Page 2329 Paper number 9205

Abstract:

This paper introduces the definition of the nonstandard linear discrete-time singularly perturbed system and shows how to solve the corresponding linear-quadratic optimal control problem since the methodology that exists in the literature for the solution of the standard singularly perturbed discrete linear quadratic optimal control problem can not be extended to the corresponding nonstandard counterpart. The solution of the optimal control problem is obtained in terms of the pure-slow and pure-fast, reduced-order, continuous-time, algebraic Riccati equations.
